World Malaria Day: April 25, 2014

Today marks the 8th annual official recognition, via World Malaria Day, of the horrendous toll taken by the mosquito-born infection. Although we have seen significant declines in the death toll worldwide from malaria over the past 10 years, much work remains to be done to get these numbers even lower. The theme of World Malaria Day this year is "Invest in the Future: Defeat Malaria," which is a reminder of the challenges we still face in the future.
